“The most important thing was his attitude and self -criticism,” said Pellegrini. “If they paid so much money for him, it is because he is a player of a great level, who, for reasons unknown to me, could not occur as planned in Manchester United .
“He came to take revenge on himself to show that he is a much more mature player. I spoke a lot with him to make him calm, without wanting to show great things, but to remain simple.
“He is a great player who does important things for the team, and I hope he will continue at this level until the end of the season because he will help us a lot.”
Betis has already admitted that there was a “possibility” that Antony could join permanently at the end of the season, although the left footing agent left the door open to a return from Old Trafford If things go well.
